PEACH TREES FROM. 
= 4 
ORCHARDS with HIGH 
PRODUCTION RECORDS 
CHAMPION’S PEACH TREES ARE TESTED AND PROVEN STRAINS 
Without a doubt there are no better peach trees produced than the ones which 
are grown on sandy or gravelly loam soil and in the winter conditions. which exist 
here at Perry. This type of soil produces a very fibrous root system and the win- 
ter weather which we have tends to develop a strong, healthy, vigorous, hardy 
tree. We are large growers of Peach Trees and we are justly proud of the long 
list of commercial planters who depend on us for trees in their new plantings. 
Peaches can be grown on any soil that will produce the average yield of farm 
crops, however, they are especially adapted to lighter soils. 
BELLE OF GEORGIA. Very large white with red cheek, 
of excellent quality and flavor. A very productive 
variety. August. 
CHAMPION. An extremely large, handsome early va- 
riety, creamy white with red cheek. Hardy and pro- 
ductive. Follows Carman in August. 
CUMBERLAND. A seedling crossed with Greensboro. 
The tree is a vigorous grower and as hardy as Carman. 
The fruit is larger than Belle of Georgia; attractively 
colored with red and oval in shape. The flesh is white 
almost free, firmer and better quality than Carman. 
Ripens five days ahead of Carman. 
ELBERTA. The most widely planted peach variety in 
America. A very large yellow fruit with a red cheek, 
a good shipper and succeeds everywhere. Ripens in 
September. 
EARLY ELBERTA. Ripens about a week earlier than 
Elberta and is a little better in quality. 
GOLDEN JUBILEE. A large early yellow peach of the 
Elberta type. Ripening three weeks ahead of Elberta. 
The skin is yellow blushed with red. Flesh juicy, tender, 
and sweet, and a good freestone. 
HALE-HAVEN. A large new yellow freestone; developed — 
at the Michigan experiment station by crossing the two 
popular varieties J. H. Hale and South Haven. Its high 
color before ripening gives it a great market value be- 
cause of the advantage of premature picking, packing 
and shipping without loss. . 
J. H. HALE. Large yellow freestone, of good quality 
ripening just before Elberta. 
LEMON FREE. Large, resembling a lemon in shape and 
color, immensely productive and of excellent quality 
for canning. Late September. 
ORIOLE. Another variety from the New Jersey Station 
is ready by the middle of August. The fruit is medium 
to large, roundish, yellow, very good in quality and a 
freestone. 
ROCHESTER. A fine peach of good size. Bears young 
and a good cropper, ripening about August 10.
